Answer:
[tex]y=5.6[/tex] or [tex]y=28/5[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
4/5 = y/7
⇒ Cross multiply:
4 × 7 = 5 × y
⇒ Multiply 4 × 7 & 5 × y:
[tex]28=5y[/tex]
⇒ Solve the formed equation:
[tex]28=5y[/tex]
⇒ Move all the terms containing y to the right side and the other values to the left side:
⇒ Add '-5y' to each side of the equation:
[tex]28+-5y=5y+-5y[/tex]
⇒ Combine like terms: [tex]5y+-5y=0[/tex]
[tex]28+-5y=0[/tex]
⇒ Add '-28' to each side of the equation:
[tex]28+-28+-5y=0+-28[/tex]
⇒ Combine like terms: [tex]28+-28=0[/tex]
[tex]0+-5y=0+-28[/tex]
[tex]-5y=0+-28[/tex]
⇒ Combine like terms: [tex]0+-28=-28[/tex]
[tex]-5y=-28[/tex]
⇒ Divide each side by '-5':
[tex]y=5.6[/tex] or [tex]y=28/5[/tex]
hope this helps :)
